Status: offline 		I've tried running BTR in window mode and it aint happening.

The command line on the shortcut is
"D:\games\Gary Grigsby's Eagle Day to the Bombing of the Reich\BTR.exe" -w

and I have it set to Normal Window. The Matrix video appears and the splash screen, but then I get a dialog saying "ERROR Couldn't init font"...the game goes no further.

I was trying to run it in window mode as per Eriks suggestion to see if it gets rid of the graphical glitches when DirectDraw is switched off.

Status: offline 		I'm having the same problem except that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  I just had the whole game lock up and had to use task manager to stop it after 30 minutes + of no activity visible on screen.  (Taskmanager said it was using between 33-50 percent of the cpu during that time).  Now that I am trying to restart it it keeps giving me the init font error.

edit: Vista 64 GeForce 250 GTS.
